BRADENTON – The latest craze in the world of surfing does not require a board or big waves.

What is needed, however, is a tall horse, a calm bay, and balance and fortitude on the part of the surfer.

It is called “horse surfing,” and if the “surfer” can remain standing upright on a horse’s back as it navigates through the calm waters of Palma Sola Bay in Manatee County, patrons of the new sport say, the experience can be just as exciting as riding a board atop a monstrous wave.
